You can construct charges at fixed sites using virtual sites,
or have them moving around (polarizable) by using shells attached to a spring.
Both methods are described in the manual.

I don't see how you can easily make a polarizable contiuum.
If it is possible at all, a very complex electrostatics solver will be required.
